I sloved this problem (for my case) by copying this:
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" /> </provider>

from the package into my main project android manifest.

you are still using the official repo, not my patch.

Tried delete node_modules and reinstall ?

yes, i delete the official repo, and npm install gengjiawen/react-native-image-picker#bugfix/android_photo_crash -S.
Got the same error.

You need reinstall the app too, Did you do that ?

gengjiawen picture gengjiawen on 4 Jan 2018

yes. App was reinstall.

Weird, can you see in node_modules did my patch actually there, if they do in that place, then there is little thing I can do.

@DIVIBEAR were u able to fix your issue?

vvavepacket picture vvavepacket on 7 Jan 2018

@gengjiawen for some reason if we comment this code

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
      List<ResolveInfo> resInfoList = reactContext.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(cameraIntent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
      for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfoList) {
        String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
        System.out.println("ggg - "+packageName+"-"+cameraCaptureURI+"-"+Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION+"-"+Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
        reactContext.grantUriPermission(packageName, cameraCaptureURI, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
      }
    }

It works..

Can you provide an repro repo so I can take a look.

gengjiawen picture gengjiawen on 9 Jan 2018

Do we have any update on this? I have the exact same issue using android 6.0.1 API 23, it crashes when I try to open the camera to take a picture, but when I try with video it works perfectly...

xoscar picture xoscar on 18 Jan 2018

I faced the same problem. Seems the problem in 'noData' option on android. After I removed the option 'noData', I was able to take photo.

PewX2 picture PewX2 on 31 Jan 2018

Also having this issue, tried with the bugfix branch but still crashing when selecting camera. Library works fine.

mistenkt picture mistenkt on 8 Feb 2018

I sloved this problem (for my case) by copying this:
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" /> </provider>

from the package into my main project android manifest.

I tried everything but the only thing that worked for me is @mistenkt's solution, on top of the regular branch of this project.

Is there any solution to this? This is happening to me sometimes in the emulator, I haven't tried yet in a device..

hoscarcito picture hoscarcito on 21 Mar 2018

If you guys don't want this error you can just get back to older version
compile 'com.github.Mariovc:ImagePicker:1.2.0'

NikunjNakum picture NikunjNakum on 3 Apr 2018

I found a very efficient way to deal with this bug it seems :
Use the options maxWidth, maxHeight and/or quality to reduce the size of the pictures taken (depending on your use case, having pictures 3200x3200 might be useless). I found that for my need a 1200x1200 max + 0.9 quality works almost 100% of the time ! Hope this helps
